An employee of City Furniture will have to appear in court after a suspected bra heist at a nearby Belk store.

Versie Hildyard, 34, of Leesburg, entered the Belk store at La Plaza Grande in The Villages on Monday morning and took several items into a fitting room, re-emerging with only one of them, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department.
